## Resource

MJ Melendez, a fifth-year outfielder and DH, has been a steady force for the New York Mets since joining them last month. Despite the teams struggles, Melendez has exceeded expectations with a .580 weighted runs created plus and a .921 on-base plus slugging. Hes been hot at the plate, drawing praise from veteran Keith Hernandez. While his batting average on balls in play suggests some luck, his expected weighted on-base average indicates hes been performing well. Melendezs performance has been a bright spot for the Mets, who are dealing with injuries and a deep standings hole. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
